An Animal Crossing: New Horizons fan recreated Merry, their favorite villager in the game, as a The Sims 4 character. The Sims 4 has a good character creation system, and the result of this experiment is a human that greatly resembles Merry, the peppy cat.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons was a huge hit back when it was launched in 2020. The title managed to sell over 43 million units worldwide, becoming the best-selling game in Japan ever, with over 10 million copies purchased in the country. It seems that the love for the franchise has not diminished over the years, though, as fans are still playing the cozy game and sharing interesting content with the community.
Now, an Animal Crossing: New Horizons fan called Alpharonni decided to unite their love for both Animal Crossing and The Sims by remaking Merry as a human in The Sims 4. Merry is a fairly popular Animal Crossing character. She’s a joyful yellow humanoid cat with a brown fringe wearing a pink sweater. The new version of Merry is somewhat close to that: she’s a human with brown hair and a fringe that resembles the original villager’s hairstyle. The character also has the same black eyes and even a tiara with cat ears. Alpharonni’s post was pretty popular, and it managed to gain over 1,000 upvotes on r/AnimalCrossing, receiving considerable praise in the comments.
Turning villagers from Animal Crossing into humans seems to be a somewhat common trend in the game’s community. For instance, a fan recently redesigned a few of the game’s villagers as humans. The artwork includes a human version of Merry, as well as Teddy, Annalisa, and Sprinkle. All of these characters look very cute in the art pieces and remain faithful to their original depictions while having a unique spin.
While the Animal Crossing community is still very active almost four years after the game’s launch, it’s unlikely that New Horizons will get new updates in 2024, as the last new content update for the game was released back in November 2021. However, Animal Crossing is a best-selling franchise, and it’s entirely possible that fans may hear good news soon, considering how well New Horizons sold. While a new game is not on the horizon, fans who are looking for more Animal Crossing could look into the upcoming Animal Crossing Lego sets, which will be released on March 1, 2024.

Many people are looking forward to Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, and that’s not a shock at all. When Square Enix released the first entry of the “remake saga” back in 2020, gamers were stunned by how well the publisher had remade the original title despite focusing only on the Midgar storyline for the “first part.” The graphics were stunning, the voice acting was on point, and the updated combat system made it feel like an RPG while also being “upgraded” to fit modern times. However, a few flaws held it back, mainly in the party system.
